£45m plan for Liverpool

But one reader said it would make the city centre more attractive and better for pedestrians: “They will be freeing up junctions so this will increase the flow of traffic along the Strand (makes sense) and on a plus will increase the the flow of people to the Pier Head and make the areas look better.”

Other proposed changes include extending St George’s Plateau by cutting lanes on Lime Street, and overhauling the bus stations at Queen Square and Liverpool ONE.

Cllr Malcolm Kennedy, cabinet member for regeneration, said in a report outlining the plans: “How we navigate around the city centre needs a radical rethink in key locations.

“This new transport scheme addresses many of our current and future needs to improve the city centre welcome and provide an experience befitting a world class city.”
